  • Hmmm.... (0 / 0)

    I experienced much the same when I was pregnant.  It probably didn't help that I started out very thin, and grew these enormous bellies...

    Anyway.  My theory about men:  I think they're a bit turned on by pregnant women.  Not sure why, not sure its the same reason for all men.  The fascination is there for many, however.

    I think often women share that fascination, but in my more catty moments, I think they really liked the idea that I looked really big and had gained lots of weight.

      I was hit on at nine months with Simone.  I was in a hideous dress, and I was mortified!

        Maybe it was a really lame come on! That makes more sense than thinking a woman doesn't know if she's having twins.

        • Well, I AM pretty darned sexy! (0 / 0)

          Maybe that guy was all turned on by me.  Maybe he was so attracted to my sheer roundness and magnitude that he had to figure out a way to talk to me. I could understand that.  I am just a big giant sex goddess, really.

          • As I was getting out of the tub (0 / 0)

            LATE in my first pregnancy, my husband commented, "You look just like... the VEnus of Willendorf!" with this delighted smile on his face.

            I, myself, was not that thrilled to hear it. I believe I may have burst into tears, and waddled from the room.

            Later I thought it was so cute that my husband is cultured enough to drop that reference, but clueless enough to SAY IT TO MY FACE!

            Big, giant sex goddesses RULE!

            • Hee hee (0 / 0)

              My DH and I were fooling around back in high school , and he caught a glimpse of the stretch marks on my hips.  He touched them lightly and said, "Wow, cool.  Tiger stripes."  (He was 18).

              I burst into tears and left his house.

              Needless to say, we talked it over later, and he was befuddled at my reaction.  He'd never seen such a thing before and thought they were cute.

      • My husband admits (0 / 0)

        that he finds pregnant women very sexy.  Something about that "fruitful" thing, I guess....
